Once I access add or remove programs I was not able to locate my desired program to uninstall. After this, I decided to to try and use IObit uninstaller to try and find it, but that couldn't either. The program can still be found in my Program File directory and it acknowledges that I have it installed when I try to reinstall it. A system restore was no help either. Netbeans is the program.
The below is a custom installer / uninstaller approach for NetBeans - a package in a proprietary format (non-MSI). For normal uninstall of Windows Installer packages see this "reference answer" instead: Uninstalling an MSI file from the command line without using msiexec.
I see NetBeans in the Add / Remove applet just fine - just right-click and select "Uninstall".
I suppose the entry could be missing on your system. If this is the case you can try this:
Go to the NetBeans installation folder and double click Uninstall.exe.
On my system the installation path is: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.2.
You should get an uninstall dialog with a couple of options, set options as appropriate and click Uninstall.
I'll throw in the uninstall dialog so people can see the options - I suppose it could be helpful for someone at some point. I didn't run the actual uninstall, please update this answer with any extra steps necessary once you do run it:

i installed winavr and tried to open programmers notepad but iam getting :
pn.exe is not found.
and the pn folder is empty.
Is there any way to solve this issue?
When installing WinAVR, the installer pops up a dialog with some check-boxes. Check the "Install Programmers Notepad" box.
Depending on the WinAVR version (and hence depending on PN's version), the executable is named pn.exe or pn2.exe.
I installed the JDK8u40, but only find the javafx-src.zip.
Where can I find the source code for JDK? The src.zip?
Below is what I get after installation:
And btw, I didn't see the installation wizard! This is quite strange.

Today I tried several Java installation packages. All are downloaded from Oracle official site.
jdk-6u45-windows-i586.exe
jdk-7u75-windows-i586.exe
jdk-8u20-windows-i586.exe
jdk-8u25-windows-i586.exe
jdk-8u31-windows-i586.exe
jdk-8u40-windows-i586.exe
Both 6u45 and 7u75 installed well on my box. I can see the install wizard. And the src.zip is installed.
But 8u25 ~ 8u40 all installed silently. And no src.zip file is installed because I have no chance to select it in the wizard.
I am not sure if this is my fault or someone at Oracle made a mistake.
As #SubOptimal commented, the /s option indicates a silent install. I am wondering if there's an option to force the GUI install wizard to open.
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise x64 Build 7601 SP1
Make sure the Source code is not disabled when downloading.
Then as you can see on the picture, selecting "Source Code" will tell you exactly where it is located.
Notice that I've downloaded the 32 bits version to make sure to reproduce the same use case as you.
Edit
As per your new edits and comments, it seems what you want to know now is why you don't see the installation wizards. I'm pretty sure this is due to old-set registry key.
Run the following command
reg query hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products /f "java" /s | find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Now, navigate to each of the returned path browsing with regedit and delete their entire parent (the big hexa number).
Re-try the installation and I'm pretty sure you will see the wizard.
As for the sources, Oracle documentation specify how to download them in silent mode.
jdk.exe /s ADDLOCAL="SourceFeature"
This is the way I got the src folder from jdk-8u172-windows-x64.exe file without installing.
Step1: Download jdk-8u172-windows-x64.exe file (Java SE Development Kit 8u172) from oracle site
Step2: Extract it and navigate to the path:
\jdk-8u172-windows-x64.rsrc\1033\JAVA_CAB9
Step3: Right click on file named "110" and extract it.
You will get the src.zip file.
It took me little while to figure this out. I hope it will help others.
Enjoy debugging Good Code!
I don't know why/where the src.zip is, but as an alternative, if all you want is the source and somehow the proposed method doesn't work for you, you could always pull directly from the JDK8u40 source tree.
You will need Mercurial instead of Git. This link talks about the hg clone command
Quoting from the OpenJDK Java.net site
The corresponding master forest jdk8u can be cloned using this command: hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u;cd jdk8u;sh get_source.sh .
In addition, the source code for the last release, 8u40, is available by cloning the 8u40 master forest : http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u40. The final build of that release was tagged as jdk8u40-b25.
There are differences between OpenJDK and Oracle's, though subtle
download JDK 8 from following link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jdk-8-readme-2095712.html
src.zip comes in-built with it
if you JDK installer silently skips installing the source. just open the control panel > programs an features and find Java. Right click on it and select change and then select the
source (option) ;)
Download the JDK
Run the Installer, but stop right away
Extract src.zip from C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\LocalLow\Oracle\ss180121.cab
You can extract .zip from .cab with tool like 7Zip

Whenever I try to install the Visual Studio SDK I get the following error:
Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again.
I have checked and Compatibility mode is not turned on. From what I've read, renaming the installer to vssdk_full.exe should help. That hasn't had any impact.
I got the installer from Microsoft's website.
What do I need to do to get this to install?
Are you installing on Windows 10? If so, then I have the same problem and it seems as though the current SDK setup is checking the Windows version and 10 isn't currently supported. See https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/77c61be0-1303-4040-a587-62843d321159/visual-studio-2013-sdk?forum=WinPreview2014General for more info
I have managed to get it to install on windows 10, download the sdk, it will download vssdk_full.exe, run this with /layout path which will extract the actual setup file.
Then set compatibility on the new file to win 8 and it will install just fine.
You might not need to do the/layout thing but that is what I did.

I had the same problem. I downloaded .iso file with install package form the internet. Then I mounted it using PowerISO and tried to start it from virtual CD drive. It ended up in the same message as above.
I looked it up and thought that in Properties of .exe install file, it's enough to uncheck some boxes compability section. But nothing was checked.
Soon afterwards I unzipped the package to a temporary directory with PowerISO and installed Visual from there. Worked without problems.
I had this problem, I renamed the instalation file to "vssdk_full.exe" and it installed without problems.
I recently installed git 1.8 for windows and chose to install the cheetah plugin for windows explorer shell integration. However, I don't see any options pop-up in the right click menu. Is there something I have to do to get it to appear in the right-click menu?
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit.
In:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\git-cheetah
Do:
regsvr32 git_shell_ext64.dll
This at least gets you 3 context menus (don't know if cheetah plugin cause I never saw it :-)
Is this a bug or what? I thought installer should be doing this (things like registering DLLs).
P.S. of course you have to run this command as Administrator.
P.P.S. Start | Run, type cmd.exe, then RIGHT CLICK cmd.exe and select "run as administrator". Apparently you also have to restart Windows Explorer to see the context menu.
Cheetah plugin seems to be broken in Git-1.8.3-preview20130601 on some systems (including mine). Re-registering .dll file as suggested didn't helped. The way I fixed it is:
Install older version - Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201 with Cheetah
plugin.
While updating to Git-1.8.3-preview20130601 deselect context
menu integration (no worries, it won't uninstall a plugin).
The registry entry is separate for when you right click on a folder icon versus right clicking on space inside a folder.
If memory serves "Cheetah" only works with the former.
Example
I have the same problem on Windows 7 with Git-1.8.3-preview20130601 version.
Supposedly when you select the Cheetah plugin on install it also installs the git-gui and gitk tools as well, but these were not showing up in the right click menu either.
After adding the path to the git cmd folder I at least got git-gui and gitk to be available. ie add to your PATH variable:
"path to git directory install"\cmd
If setup is installed on machine and if I try to install it again on the same machine than it exits installation with the message "Already installed". In this case, what I want is that if application is already installed then the installer will repair it.
How can we do this?
If the installation is actually broken (like a file is missing) then when you re-run the installer it should give you the repair option. Otherwise, if it thinks the installation is normal then it will say it's already installed.
I think there's always a repair option in the add/remove program entry. However, that won't work if your install files were in a temp location and are now gone.
